Miomarmo: Bike to Work Day

Miomarmo is Italian for My Marble. And we think it rolls off the tongue nicely in English as well. But there’s more to it. Earth from space shows purity, innocence, unity, vulnerability, hope and wonder. We do indeed live in a paradise. And it’s all yours and mine and ours. As a good citizen of Earth, you have the right to call it “My Marble.” Perhaps, above all, the image inspires a sense of everlasting stewardship. As one famous environmental activism poster of the 1970's put it, "Take care of it. It's the only one we've got."

Bike to Work Day

This year's Bike to Work day is Friday, May 15 - although some sources are giving it as Thursday, May 14, so you have twice as many chances to saddle up! If that weren't enough, according to the League of American Bicyclists, May is National Bike Month, and this whole week is Bike To Work Week. Get the picture? There are plenty of days to take your bike out for a spin and get a great workout besides.

The League says,

People ride bicycles for all sorts of reasons, from better health to saving money on fuel. Additionally, bicycling helps the environment, allows you to escape from the endlessly clogged freeways of America, and is a lot of fun!

Although I have the shortest commute ever, I do have a hankering to take my bike out for a ride this afternoon and run some errands. Have you ever biked to work, and would you give it a try tomorrow?

To get you in the mood:
